ATOD Education

The ADAI utilizes the SHSU Bearkat mascot theme to engage student participation in alcohol and drug education and promote their willingness to assist their peers when they are engaging in risky behaviors associated with alcohol use. The slogan for the ADAI is “Be SAFER”. This serves a dual purpose of being a direct message that promotes safety and an acronym includes that actions necessary to accomplish that goal. Multiple teaching strategies combined with unique activities conducted by peers and professionals are used in an effort to improve the student knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors associated with alcohol consumption. The primary focus areas of the campaign include drinking and driving, binge drinking, alcohol poisoning, and risky behaviors. The ADAI also offers alcohol & drug education in a contextual manner by also addressing alcohol and dating, and time management. This provides students with the tools needed to manage alcohol use in the event that they choose to drink.
